Why don't we outsource MORE jobs, if it would help American companies be more effective

Why don't we outsource MORE jobs, if it would help American companies be more effective?
It would lower the price cost of things. Imagine if companies outsourced all jobs that can be done in China or elsewhere for a fraction of the cost (there are millions of people who speak English outside of America) and professional jobs, like nursing, could be done by H1B1 visas (foreign people who have a college degree and come in temporarily and then get switched with a new set of people). In the long run, isn't this what's best?

Let's ask Bill Clinton - he started this whole mess........

No, it would be far better to overhaul the tax code, eliminate most deductions and lower rates. Tort and regulatory reform would improve the business climate and jobs might actually return.

Your trying to think like a Conservative, and failed.

You're right, America should rot in its crappy paying jobs, and extremely few good paying jobs. Oh wait, that just sounds stupid.

Then what are Americans going to do for jobs? How will we pay our bills? Have you bought gas recently? Have you bought groceries recently and tried to feed a family? If the jobs go away, we will turn into a Third World county that is essentially a welfare state. I'm a college graduate who recently had to take a job at McDonald's. I refuse to go on the government rolls for food stamps, etc. So, I just suck it up and work at whatever I can get while I continue to look for something that makes some kind of sense. What do the recent college graduates do who are up to their necks in student loans? At least mine have been paid off. Basically, you are telling us that our education and skills are worthless. What's the point of struggling to get an education? Why bother to tell today's kids to go to college? Right now, there are people who have worked, scrimped and sacrificed to become an educated part of the workforce and they have no place to go except Starbucks, McDonald's or other low paying jobs and they can't support themselves let alone a family. Do we just line up at the welfare office? Call an 800 number for customer service and guess what you get? We can't even get those jobs unless we want to move to India or the Philippines. Maybe you have discretionary income in this economy, but there are those of us who do not. We are willing to work, but being willing does nothing for you if there is no place to go to work.
